| 568054 | 2007-07-11 05:21:00 | something odd is happenning to my mums comp. when she goes in to " my computer" and try double clicking on any of the partition of the HD, like C: or D: and anyothers, the comp gives her no response...:annoyed: that means she could not browse through the harddrive. bt everything else strill functions. for example if u save a document using office 2003 into the "my documnet "folder u could still open it later using office 2003, bt u could not get straigh to where the document is......:annoyed: could u guys please tell me whats wrong? any help will be greatly appriciated. thnks. |

| 568055 | 2007-07-11 05:24:00 | Extreme lag? That used to happen to me on my old computer....anything in My Computer and beyond literally took 5 - 10 mins to open. Dunno what the prob is if it doesnt open at all though. |

| 568057 | 2007-07-11 05:34:00 | if you go to start..run then type in c: then press enter are you then able to browse your c drive | beama (111) | ||
| 568058 | 2007-07-11 05:38:00 | thnks for the reply bt i did use spybot and kingsoft ( a big antivirus software in china) to scan the comp and something did came up, bt after cleaning them things the problem is still there. probably more description of it will help: when it happens, i click on the partition of the harddrive, say C:, the cursor change to the little tundish for about a quarter of a second then it change back to the normal cursor, then nothing happens....:angry bt it does not happen all the time, some times when it happen mum uses windows restore, and that seems to fix the problem, and also restarting the comp does not fix the problem. it did happen right away when dad changed the name of the partition partition "D:" to "Dad's drive:". thnks for the help. |

Of course the minute she does that, all your malware gets restored back too you know. Another way to brwse is to right click on the Start button and choose Explore. Then scroll to whatever folder she wants to look at. Better than MyComputer..........Does that work also? |

Dunno what the prob is if it doesnt open at all though. Yes, been there before too, and I think the only solution in the end was a fresh install. However after awhile it came back and I realized a trial period bit of software needed registration, so, was okay after that...... |
